Going with the Ferrari again? I tried it out but decided to go with my GT again. Wanted to send it out in style by finishing first.

Joke's on you, we're 32pts apart in the championship with two races left, so I could not even show up for the final rounds and still take first. But due to your insolence, now I'll just pull a Senna and wreck you off at the first corner.
And for the record that sweet, sweet van was supposed to be in a reply to TheVancen about his new van, I meant to include this:

Where my Mustang stomps you and your sad little Camaro? Psh, please. No matter what series, there'll always be a purple car ahead of you, Silent Bob. Always.
Seriously though, I'm super-excited about the Trans-Am series. Finished all the rules a few days ago for the B450 cars so we should have two really good series going. All we need to do now is wait until this one ends.

I don't know which series I'm more excited for. The Trans Am is so close, but the B450 is so much fun.
Also, my Camaro will whip your pony into submission.

Dude, they should both be insanely tight, remember how we were running within like .2 seconds of each other at Laguna Seca in the B450 cars? Only problem I see is there's gonna be a lot of rubbin' going on with people that close to each other but yeah man, really looking forward to them both. Kinda with the GT series was already over lol.
And please. The Camaro can hang but it can't best the OG pony car.

My biggest worry about the B450 cars is the fact that they pretty much roll over on command. I can already picture a turn 1 crash with everyone on their roofs.
Also, your pony couldn't lay off the burgers. It's big and lumbering (for a Mustang. Isn't it like 3700 lbs. stock?), whereas my Camaro is light and nimble.

You'll notice I'm driving the Alfa for the sole reason it's the least Orlove-prone of the lot. Ideally people will just stiffen the hell out of their springs and they should be fine but I'm sure there'll be a ton of rolls on tracks like the 'Ring and Sunset Peninsula. Maybe that'll just be another variable of the competition, see who can stay on four wheels the most.
The Mustang doesn't need to be lighter because, like its namesake, it has exceptional handling and power and majesty. Camaro means shrimp in Spanish. Wild stallion>shrimp all day errday.

Just a thought. Maybe we could do some sort of 25 Lap race based around the 25 Hours of Thunderhill?

I do like the idea but this is my dead week and I'm sure the other guys don't want to do 2 20-some lap races in a day, so we'd have to do it for the points race. We can just do it at the Hockenheimring, it'd kind of suck for the people who tune their cars for specific tracks to change it the day of and render their tunes useless.

Oh right. Sounds like a great idea, I don't know when we'd do it because a lot of people are starting finals week this week and next and the Trans-Am series races begin the Saturday after the last race in the GT series. If you wanna post about it and organize it that'd be awesome, I'm tied up in engineering homework and exam reviews.

A few of the guys in the current series (me included) work Saturday nights so 4 would work best for us, but but we change it depending on what everyone else wants to do. It's kinda up in the air at this point, we'll sort it out closer to the start of the season.

Last one of the season at Camino Viejo. Me and Cherry Man raced there last night and found that it was super-narrow and hard to drive in a group so I was going to ask Wrath if we could change it to the Circuit de Catalunya.

Catalunya is the Paul Richard-like one, with the sticky paint right?
Figured I'd ask now so I can tune up a Gulf SLS.

I actually like that little section, sucks they didn't make a full track out of it. We're actually doing Catalunya now, me and Cherry Man tested out Camino Viejo and it would've been a clusterfuck with how narrow it is the first section and the switchbacks. SLS would probably do real well there since it's such a fast track.
|
Viggen

12/19/2014 at 21:25 |

I ran a test with the SLS and 12C and ended up with faster times on the McLaren. This is my original McLaren, from May, so it still has the Le Mans tune, which worked well.
I added two special decals for this final race too.

Good looking car man, I'm going Viper since RoboRed's back (he wasn't in our Le Mans race but dude's seriously fast). No idea how it drives at Catalunya because I forgot my disc at my apartment for when I went home for winter break, but I'll have a disc by race day so I'll figure it out then.
